Ron Filipkowski:

Big day for criminals to get a windfall payout from taxpayer dollars so they can retire early and put their feet up after beating cops and smashing windows to storm the Capitol - orchestrated by Republicans. A transfer of money from hardworking law-abiding citizens to scum.

in this video. I'll put a little summary of what I think he's saying below:

From what I can tell, it's DOJ looking the other way and lying down on the job. They should not be going along with this "settlement."

This wouldn't be happening if trump wasn't controlling the DOJ.

The DOJ attorneys who go along with this could very well lose their licenses (later on, after trump is out of power or hamstrung by a Dem-controlled House or Senate or both).

Harry says it's a "Straight forward impeachable offense."

Already, Michael Flynn has gotten nearly a million in "settlement" money.

I'll write more in a bit. I have something to attend to.
